2026 Toyota Sienna

If you're in the market for a new minivan, make sure the Toyota Sienna is high up on your shopping list. Its standard hybrid powertrain means you'll save at the pump compared to V6-powered rivals, and a healthy list of standard features means you don't have to pay top dollar to get the goodies you want. We expect the Toyota Sienna to carry on sans big changes for 2026 after getting a technology infusion last year that upgraded the touchscreen and infotainment system and added a new radar-based rear occupant detection system. These improvements add to the Sienna's family-friendly bona fides, which include a cavernous cabin and generous small-item storage, especially up front. The Sienna is also notable for offering all-wheel drive, an option more than half of Sienna buyers go for.

The Sienna is the only minivan that comes with a standard hybrid powertrain. It pairs a four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a total output of 245 horsepower. That's healthy enough for a minivan, but fuel economy is the name of the Sienna's game. The front-wheel-drive version offers an EPA-estimated 36 mpg combined and the all-wheel-drive version comes in at 35 mpg combined. However, in Edmunds' real-world testing, we blew past that figure and noted 42.7 mpg from a front-wheel-drive Sienna. All of this translates to savings at the pump, especially against the gas-only competition like the Honda Odyssey.

The Sienna's admirable fuel efficiency, well-executed tech features and a gigantic, family-friendly cabin make it a formidable competitor among the small group of minivans. Beyond the aforementioned Odyssey, the Sienna also rivals the Kia Carnival and Chrysler Pacifica. Last year, Kia added a Carnival Hybrid to the lineup that nearly matches the Toyota on fuel economy, and the Pacifica has a plug-in hybrid variant that gives it an impressive all-electric range. The Odyssey's fuel economy lags far behind, but it feels more agile and pleasurable to drive than other minivans.

Despite their stigma, minivans excel at family and household duties. Raising the liftgate and opening the sliding side doors makes easy work of handling bulky cargo, even if that bulk includes half the youth soccer team. That's why we spent a year and nearly 20,000 miles with a Sienna in our test fleet. We had a 2021 model, the first year of its current generation, so while it's older than the latest model, most of our observations still apply. Read more about our time with the Sienna here.

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Sienna. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Toyota Sienna is sold in six trim levels: LE, XLE, XSE, Woodland Edition, Limited and Platinum. All models are powered by a hybrid powertrain that uses a four-cylinder engine and has a combined output of 245 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional except on the Woodland Edition, where it's standard. Depending on the trim, the Sienna is available with either an eight-passenger (second-row bench seat) or a seven-passenger (second-row captain's chairs) configuration.
